Delicious Vegetarian Curry - Edit
My vegetarian curry and cheese naan (ordered separately) were delicious. They also had some Indian beers to try which was also a plus. Vegetarian page clearly marked on the menu. Service was efficient, but not overly friendly which was fine for me as I was by myself on my phone. One of the other staff members was chatting with another table though so don’t think them completely unfriendly. I would recommend to those in the Gion area looking for vegetarian food or Indian food specifically.

Pleasantly Surprised - Edit
Visited this restaurant out of convenience while exploring Gion and was a little worried due to the reviews.
Read moreTo my surprise, both the spinach & potato curry and the other curry we had were both delicious and the rice enjoyable as well.
A VERY limited menu (4 choices) but was happy with the outcome.
Pros: Excellent curry , Convenient location
Cons: Limited options, Not clearly labelled vegan options

Decent food in a convenient location - Edit
The food was okay, nothing great, especially for the price, but the staff weren't completely clear on what vegan meant; they knew we couldn't eat dairy but then brought us a side of chicken🤷 The location is the best thing about this place as it's in the Gion area. Can't say we'd go back, but if you're in a rush it's okay.

regular - Edit
The food is not as nice as it looks, the dahl has too much water and the naan is not vegan so I just ate something like a lentil soup with rice. The staff was nice.

unremarkable Indian food - Edit
Regular Indian food with good vegetarian options. Food was rather unremarkable for the price. Have had better Indian food in Kyoto for lesser price.

Good value for money - Edit
Some of the best Indian food I've ever had! I had the paneer tomato curry and it was super delicious. A little steeper than other places in Kyoto for ¥1100, but the food is great quality and the portion sizes are generous. There are about 9 veggie options and each looked incredible. I would have given it five stars and would definitely eat here next time I'm in Kyoto.

OVERPRICED - Edit
Overpriced for an average Indian dinner. Would not recommend to those on a tight budget. That is all...

delicious and veg friendly - Edit
This was a home run in the ballpark. I was missing Pakistani/Indian food in this very meaty/east Asian food land of Japan and was comforted and pleased by this restaurant. Super authentic and just the right balance of flavor and spice (we ordered the mild). I absolutely loved the Okra and Eggplant curries. The naan was also super fresh (it was vegetarian, Not vegan, because of the fresh ghee spread over the naan for serving). The pakoras were good. Samosa not so good to be honest. The Saffron Kulfi was AMAZING. Also they served us a classy tomato carrot soup, which almost tasted non-veg but apparently it was all vegetarian. The whole meal was super satisfactory and I loved the warm service. The only major cons about this place are: the samosa (I would pass), and the TV screen (Bollywood couples making out. Not appetizing).

Best Indian Food Experience In Kyoto - Edit
Perfect location for tourists close to some of the most popular traditional sites. It was mostly empty at 12:30 for lunch, but I can't understand why. The food was delicious, service pleasant and price reasonable. 990 yen paid for soup, salad, choice of 10 curries, 14 drinks and unlimited bread or rice.

serves great food but overcharges - Edit
This was a welcome break from tofu and foods that may or may not be made with dashi. But beware...if you would like a refill of your tea, you will be charged an additional 400 yen per cup. Mind you, this is black tea (not chai) so 400 yen is already overpriced. My husband and I paid 1600 yen for plain tea!! Besides that, our bill was still about 400 or 500 more yen than expected (even with the extra charge for rice). Stick to water, watch your bill (which they do not present to you at the table--now I know why) and you will do fine. Enjoy the food! Aloo gobi, veggie korma and sesame naan were all very tasty.
